Beers

With over 120 years of hard work dedicated to the richest and most
flavorful beers, Berghoff Beers still face the challenge of satisfying
every customers' lips with a cold bottle of brilliance. There's only one thing more
enjoyable than a good beer and that's the perfect beer.

Winter Ale

There is a long-standing tradition of brewers
making special beers for winter, both as a little
holiday present to their customers, and also
because a bigger, stronger, darker beer simply
tastes great in the dead of winter.
This rich, smooth, copper-colored ale is brewed
with six malts for a lot of aromatic complexity,
with cookie, caramel, raisin and toasted
marshmallow notes. New World versions of noble
hop flavors bring a certain European elegance,
but with a little more brash personality, topped
off with the floral-and-citrus that the all-American
hop—Cascade—delivers.

Pilsner

This beer is a superb Old World classic with a modern "Made in America" stamp. It is crisp and clean as a traditional European Pilsner should be, Berghoff Pilsner is a reinvigorated and fully modern version of the timeless classic. The union of American and German 2-row malts create a blend of New and Old World character, and use of non-traditional and unique varietals of German hops reimagine this New World Pilsner, but still
remaining rooted and respectful of its Old World heritage.
Our Pilsner pours a golden straw color topped with a heavenly white foam leaving intricate white lacing on the glass. The body is classically delicate yet complex with a balance of maltiness and herbal hop character balanced with a pleasing bitter finish, this beer will have you wondering if you have been transported to a biergarten in Germany.

IPA

Berghoff IPA has a beautiful orange-amber color with a nice hoppy nose along with​ fruity, floral and citrus notes; a nice blend of refined European character with a hint of more forward West Coast flair. Maltiness is also present on the nose, mostly of light raisiny notes from the caramel malt. The taste is balanced between rich and dry; while the bitterness is very clean and steadily builds to assertive levels as appropriate for the style. The finish is clean, bitter and tinged with toasted caramel and cookie malt notes.
We didn’t hold back, but we didn’t over-complicate it either. Enjoy its great flavor in mindless pleasure.

Rockin’Bock

This beer combines two great beer styles--hefeweizen and maibock--to create something unique and new, offering clean bright flavors and just the right amount of sustaining richness and complexity. Wheat adds a nice creaminess as does a little rye, also bringing a deep spicy/fruity character.
Rockin'Bock presents some clean phenolic aromas with a bit of light toasted caramel, along with plenty of fruity notes. On the palate, it shows just a little richness balanced by a sweetly spicy middle quickly changing to a crisp, dry spicy/fruity finish and a long, spicy aftertaste.
All in all, just a perfect beer for spring--bright and smooth with a hint of sustaining richness and the promise of warmth right around the corner.

Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest beer as we know it has been a part of
classic Bavarian lager repertoire for over 150 years,
although the celebration itself dates back to 1816. The
familiar rich amber lager we now know by this name
originated in Vienna and migrated to Bavaria by the
1850s. Like the classics, our version is deeply malty, with
just enough hops to provide a sense of balance.
But our version lightens up the body a little to avoid
being too sweet, making for a crisper drinking
experience. We start with the classic Vienna and Munich
malts, and use a few other types as well, for greater
complexity as well as an easy drinkability. Slightly more
hop bitterness as well as some pleasing hop aroma gives
the Berghoff Oktoberfest a bit more punch and
personality than the original.

Germaniac

Scratch the surface of the German beer tradition and you find gems like this: a crisply bitter golden ale
from Northern Germany that faded into obscurity a hundred years ago. With its subtle honey notes
and small dose of molasses which gives it a lightly nutty character, this is a beer that deserves a much
wider audience.
We follow the classic recipe, with a mix of three types of malted barley, plus wheat and a dash of oats
for a creamy texture, plus tiny amounts of Wisconsin cranberry honey and light molasses, both of
which add subtle shading of aroma. Hopping is vigorous, and along noble lines, but amped up a bit
with some North American varieties as well, just to keep it fresh-tasting and bold. It’s an ale
fermentation, so there is a hint of fruitiness that plays nicely with the honey and molasses notes.

Sir Dunkle

In the old days, most dark beers had a reputation for
being heavy, even sweet. Not this one. By
reinterpreting some historic German traditions,
including the ancient “altbier” style of Düsseldorf and
adding a decidedly 21st century American twist to it,
we’ve created a dark beer with a dry, refreshing
character and a ton of personality.
We start with a mix or pilsner and pale ale malts for a
complex, dry maltiness, then layer on specialty malts
that add toasty, cookie and a little dark toffee
character. All of this is balanced by a hop mix that
adds to Sir Dunkle’s crisp complexity. Lagering rounds
off any rough edges, leaving a satisfyingly dark-beer
flavor with a clean drinkability.

Solstice Wit

Wit, or “white” beers—so-called for their hazy
appearance—are a grand old family of beers that date
back a thousand years in Northern Europe. Their longevity
is justified; witbiers are complex yet subtle, dry but creamy, and always delightfully drinkable.
Solstice is a carefully updated classic that starts with the
traditional mix of super-pale 6-row malt and unmalted wheat
and oats, giving the classic hazy appearance and rich
creaminess on the palate. We use a specially selected
coriander and an exotic Asian citrus called calamansi for a
bright, tantalizing nose; then add a dash of hops for another layer
of aroma. And, as with any good witbier, it is unfiltered.

Hefe-weizen

In Bavaria, wheat beers were once the exclusive province of royalty,
and it’s easy to see why. With their reliance on costly wheat, a
refined aroma and a magical combination of complexity and easy
drinkability, wheat beers tickle just about everyone’s fancy. They
deserve wider appreciation.
Straight-Up Hefe-Weizen is brewed with 60 percent malted wheat
and 40 percent pilsner and other malts. It is an unfiltered beer with
a cloudy appearance due to yeast and proteins that add a rich
creamy mouth feel. A classic Bavarian wheat beer yeast is used,
adding subtle layers of banana, bubblegum and spicy clove, the
signature trio for the style. The finish is creamy, dry and just a
touch tangy.

Stock Ale

We used recipe details from a number of period sources, putting together a slightly modernized version, following tradition as much as possible. Berghoff Stock Ale uses the classic combination of lager, caramel and black malts along with some Belgian brewer's brown sugar to lighten the body a little to improve drinkability. It is then hopped up to a respectably high level with the original American hop, Cluster. Finally, East Kent Goldings and Hallertau Hersbrucker hops give it a unique old-school aroma. Fermentation is done with an ale yeast and in the presence of toasted oak, which adds a little soft vanilla aroma and a nice, crisp, slightly tannic finish.

Reppin Red

Your father’s red ale was pretty to look at but
not much to drink, seriously in need of a
personality transplant. But over the years, red
ales have turned into the real deal, with a
character as lively and big as any pale ale.
Reppin’ Red blends seven malts for layer upon
layer of caramel and toasted toffee with the
uniquely peppery spiciness of rye and tops it all
off with a mix of selected Pacific Northwest
hops, chosen for their lively flavors and
sophisticated aromas of flowers, pine and citrus. It’s a big beer that demands big food. Reppin’
Red is fantastic with grilled meat and steaks,
and totally rocks a burger. For something
different, try it with blue cheese or a nice,
sweet slice of carrot cake—you’ll be amazed.

Dortwunder

Dortmunder is still famous as a brewing
center, but its namesake beer is something of a rarity these
days. The great beer writer Michael Jackson described the
style as halfway between the austere crispness of a
German pils and the lush maltiness of a Munich helles—in
other words, a perfectly balanced all-malt beer.
Starting with a base of U.S. 2-row pilsner malt, we add
just enough lightly-kilned Vienna and Munich malts to
add a slight caramel character. Hops are New World
versions of European classics, smooth and clean, but
with some real personality as well.

Berghoff IPA

Berghoff IPA has a beautiful orange-amber color with a nice hoppy nose along with​ fruity, floral and citrus notes; a nice blend of refined European character with a hint of more forward West Coast flair. Maltiness is also present on the nose, mostly of light raisiny notes from the caramel malt. The taste is balanced between rich and dry; while the bitterness is very clean and steadily builds to assertive levels as appropriate for the style. The finish is clean, bitter and tinged with toasted caramel and cookie malt notes.
We didn’t hold back, but we didn’t over-complicate it either. Enjoy its great flavor in mindless pleasure.
